I'm in a club

It's the Sugar Free Club (at least for the month of March)... check it out here. My cousin's wife, Shari, is amazing when it comes to eating healthy without all the weirdness (you know what I mean by weirdness.... tofurkey, spend-your-life-savings-at-Whole-Foods diet, raw diets, paleolithic/caveman diets, etc...)

I just started yesterday and although cookies, caramels, milkshakes, chocolate milk and raspberry lemonade are all quite tempting, I like the challenge. I don't think I'm going into "sugar withdrawals" yet, although I do have a headache today (but I think it's resonating pain from my ribs, I'll save that for another post after I visit the doctor tomorrow). It's going to be a good month of self-control and body cleansing and will really jump start my goal of eating more fruits and veggies. So if anyone else has been dying to try the new Red Velvet cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory, please wait until April when we can share a slice. Until then, join me, I dare you.

No way! I started this yesterday too! 40 days sugar free. I'm going on a cruise April 10th-That's when I can have sugar again. I'm totally going to check out this link. Thank you. I started myfooddiary.com

Derek would really appreciate it if I had your commitment (he's trying to steer clear of treats for a while as he gets in better shape), but that requires way too much thinking for me. I think I'd take it out on my kids if I couldn't have a little sugar fix every day (Welch's fruit snacks are my current vice-- and I can NEVER turn down a chocolate chip cookie.) But I will commit to waking up by 6 am to exercise before my little employers take over my day. And I need to improve my folic acid intake, too!
